The much-delayed JJB Sports Irish Cup sixth round tie between Loughgall and Newry City is set to be played at Lakeview Park on Saturday 27 March.

The game will kick off at 1300 GMT unless both clubs agree in writing to play the game on the previous evening.

The winners of the tie will play Coleraine at the Showgrounds on Saturday 3 April at 1500 GMT.

Linfield await the winners in the semi-finals on 10 April, with Ballymena also playing Portadown on that date.

The Loughgall-Newry game had been postponed after Larne appealed their expulsion from the competition.

The IFA awarded Newry City a 2-1 victory over Larne after their fifth round game was halted on 82 minutes when fighting broke out between both sets of players.

Newry were fined £800 for their part in the brawl and had an appeal against the fine rejected.

Larne were fined £1,200 but the club decided not to appeal against the monetary punishment.

In addition to the fines Larne's Anthony Lagan was banned until 31 May with Robert White and Brian Neeson both suspended for two games and fined £75 each.

Larne manager Paul Millar got a four-game ban and Newry's Cullen Feeney was banned for two games and fined £75.
